THE BRIDGE.. THE STRINGS BEHIND YOU WITH THE “ALLLLL” I’M ON THE FLOOR

it took me about 2 minutes to realize that those were the legs of chairs and not an audience of long neck dinosaurs

I LOVE THE HOPE HAS A COST LINE. this is so solid

Guys don't forget about the wonderful work of the ladies behind her! Good job all of you, so much talent. *makes me salty*

The maturity and growth displayed in this song indicates to me that we are entering a whole new era of Dodie. I'm so excited to see it.

I love these "old dodie" vibes: long hair, keyboard right in front of the camera and self-taught piano playing. Now she is supported by other instruments and of course she's supported by a lot more people than for example 4 years ago but she's still the same human.

i know she said she “almost vomited” when hitting that high note, but honestly its so flawless you cant even tell!

Holy crap, Dodie, you are really developing as an artist. It's easy to tell that you're truly passionate about music and you just become better and better with every song. Light. Clear. Innovative. Oh yes, I actually *could* love this!

when i see wide screen on youtube i know THINGS ARE GETTING REAL but joking aside, this song/performance is magical, the vocals woven with keyboard & strings made me feel like i was floating on a warm and cozy cumulus cloud, 10/10 will watch again

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW RICH HER VOICE HAS GOTTEN CAUSE OMFG

This is why I listen to Dodie's music. Not because I can always relate to the songs, and not because I'm a fan of her voice (Which I am), but because of this: 1:12 You see that little smile on her face? That smile that creeps in no matter how serious she's trying to act? That smile she gets when she hears something she's been working on for months probably finally start coming together? That smile she gets when you know chills are running up and down her arms in a way that only music can make happen. I listen to Dodie because she loves and appreciates music in all of its glory. She's an incredible artist

i think i might actually stan

Verse 1] I was told this is where I will start loving myself Flirting's delicious; proved to be beneficial for mental health All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed Sadly I just think that I was disgusting, today [Pre-Chorus] You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon I'm left a stuttering teen How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick Red pushing down on the green [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh I bet it's not that at all [Verse 2] Hope has a cost: keeping all fingers crossed and held tight But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted. It don't feel right Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead And I have a hunch that that's all you wanted from me [Pre-Chorus] You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon Holding my breath makes me choke How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick I’m used to being a joke [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh I bet it's not that at all [Bridge] All All All All [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping that it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest If I’m being honest Well if I’m being honest Oh, I bet it's not that at all.

every single hair on my body is standing in applause

i'm so glad we're alive at the same time.

L Y R I C S: I was told this is where I would start loving myself. Flirting's delicious, proved to be beneficial for mental health. All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed. But sadly I just think that I was disgusting today. You blew me up like a big balloon, far too soon. I'm left a stuttering teen. How did I get here? It's all so quick and I feel sick, red pushing down on the green. Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might. Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh, I bet it's not that at all. Hope has a cost, keeping all fingers crossed and held tight. But I look idiotic with my limbs all knotted, it don't feel right. Surely you're sick of me, and I think you like how I plead. But I have a hunch, that that's all you wanted from me. You blew me up like a big balloon, far too soon. Holding my breath makes me choke. How did I get here? It's all so quick and I feel sick, I'm used to being a joke. Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might. Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh, I bet it's not that at all. all x4 (with some nice riffs) Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might. Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, (this line only) x3 oh I bet it's not that at all.

YAS 👏🏻THIS 👏🏻IS 👏🏻SO👏🏻GOOD👏🏻

Sometimes I wonder where dodie keeps all our wigs

so uhhhhh when are you signing the contract with disney to be a disney princess

I tried to play this song in the background as I’m doing homework but I couldn’t help but stop and watch. Everything about this song, from the strings that sound like their all dancing together in swirls of sound to Dodie’s voice demanded my sole attention. Truly beautiful.

the strings in this song feel like someones plucking at my own heartstrings 💗

It’s incredible how a song that probably means something very specific to the person who wrote it can be interpreted in so many different ways based on who is listening to it. For example: I feel as though I can relate to this song, even though I’m aromantic, the bit that says “I don’t think that’s it” (or something along those lines) makes it feel as though dodie meant that she wasn’t understanding love at all, when really I doubt that’s what she was intending. Music is so powerful, because power can also be in the eye (well, ear) of the beholder

to me this song is about trying to love yourself after a long time of self doubt, like wondering if you could every truly be happy with yourself disclaimer: songs are different for everyone! this is just my interpretation

looking at all the comments about people's personal stories makes me realize how truly powerful music is like it's something that made you feel something so strongly that you HAD to share it and honestly it's one of the most amazing things in this world

I feel like this song is about someone with very low self confidence and self worth, and feels insecure about the relationship they’re in. They’re worried that they are romanticizing the relationship and making it out to be more than it actually is, perhaps because they have done so before.

this is the type of song that's on the john lewis Christmas ad

Why is everything that Sammy touches either the weirdest, most hilarious and random thing ever made or the most beautiful heart wrenching video that makes me feel like laying on the ground and just crying for a good three hours,,

The strings behind "could you love this" are KILLING ME!!! I love this song so much I want to eat it

When you announced the title, it reminded me of "would you be so kind". A kind of crushy song, but this is like WYBSK's sophisticated older sister. WYBSK is almost just pleading for love, but not real love, like a childhood crush. IIBH is saying I know I'm flawed, and this probably won't work out, but I'd like to try. ITS JUST SO SOPHISTICATED AND RICH AND I LOVE IT

WHEN I THINK YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY GET BETTER YOU DO THIS

Just found her on KZfaq. She's a rare British artist who actually keeps her accent when she sings

Those lyrics ❤ "Hope has a cost, keeping all fingers crossed and held tight But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted, it don't feel right"

Goosebumps all over my body.

This sounds like it's from a musical, I'm in love.

She is so pure. She creates the rarity of my genuine smile.

This is hands down dodie's best release

Ok but the all female string section?? S T U N N I N G

It’s like she takes my journals and sets them to music how does she always know exactly what I’m feeling and release a song about it

I love this version of the song way more that the studio version bc there’s so much more emotion portrayed

her music just keeps on getting better.

I don't think I have ever related to a song more. Thank you so much for sharing your soul with us, dodie. We love you. We could love this.

*i am so proud of everything this lil star has done, this song is stunning*

Hi dodie! I own two budgies called Merlo and Max and whenever i play your music they both sing and make happy clicking noises. love your stuff!

Actually one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

Also anyone think that the chairs upside down look like dinosaurs 🦕😂

She takes all this sadness and transforms it into art and it never fails me to give me hope. That’s why I love her so much.

i saw the violins and got so excited for the second chorus to start

i amlost cried because of how of a masterpiece this was... EVERY INSTRUMENT AND EVERY SECOND just made me feel more alive. I have been blessed, thank you dodie for being who you are

Dodie, I can relate to this song on such a deep level... thank you.

If I’m being honest I’m getting musical theatres feels from this 💕💕💕

I remember listening to this song when I was with my boyfriend. But now we broke up, so I guess he couldn't love this. 😂 Hahahaha I'm laughing and also crying

i can’t believe this was already three years ago, this feels like it could’ve been a few months ago. and it’s almost the EP’s birthday (as well as my birthday) on the 18th!

Dodie oh my god you’re glowing

3 seconds in and it´s already the most beautiful song I´ve ever heard.

I imagine this song being played in a Disney Princess movie. It's very whimsical sounding and just so beautiful

Her composing skills are growing and it's beautiful to watch

“could youuuuuu love this” mader just start crying out of nowhere lol

Hey Dodes, just a heads up -you need to change the first line in the description (it says this is Human (the song))

i cried, it's too beautiful.

These comments are so beautiful, I'm so happy to be part of this amazing community. I love you all endlessly & hope you're treating yourself well. You are so worth it. ♡

it’s crazy how even after listening to dodie for so long she still continues to amaze me

For more than a year, I had a heart-aching crush on one of my friends in choir. I knew it wasn’t going to happen. Besides, I was already in a happy and healthy relationship with Curtis. So I forced my feelings to the side for the sake of my sanity. But I still got butterflies in my stomach and would stutter whenever they talked to me. I was still just a typical teen with a crush. They were part of the choir trip to New York City, that happened earlier this year in April, so I got the chance to be around them and get to know them. Which hurt because I felt invisible to them, but the dreamer side of me saw hope. I would sit by the window in my hotel room with my earbuds on while Brooke lied on the bed humming and snap chatting her friends A song came on at that moment and I got goosebumps listening to it. It wasn’t yet professionally recorded but it was still powerful and struck my fragile heart. It was my song. That same day, Nicole and Liberty had split off our group to explore New York with their parents. So it was just me, Brooke, and our chaperone. Brooke and I had thought we should go see Battery Park and then go shopping at Strand or even Flying Tiger. We found a large group that also wanted to see Battery Park and joined them. They were in that group, my heart-wrenching crush. We talked and laughed with their friends, the cool kids of choir, and I was ecstatic. My hands shook and my face went red too much, but I was still excited to be with THEM. I was hopeful... The few chaperones of the large group decided to go on the ferry, which I knew would make us late, but they insisted. We waited for what felt like forever, but we finally boarded the ferry. It was freezing and windy, and i saw them happy and talking with their friends. And I felt the horrible dread in my heart that confirmed... I had no chance... They would never fall for me. Me, this awkward, stuttering teen. I cried a bit in a corner of the ferry and in the lobby while we waited for the last ferry to take us back. After the ferry dropped us off, we ran to the nearest subway, I was right we were going to be late and already were. My subway pass wouldn’t work and I struggled to get past the gate, I finally got past and rushed to catch up with the group. On my way to catch up, there was some stunning subway art and I went to pull my camera out of my pocket. My numb hands slipped and I dropped my camera on the tile. I stopped and went to pick it up. There was a huge crack down the middle and it refused to turn on. I screamed a little in frustration and proceeded to cry, this was the worst day yet. (yes, I’m dramatic, I KNOW) Brooke saw me in my state of distress and rubbed my arms trying to sooth my pain. But my heart hurt too much, I didn’t know how to move on. Brooke handed me her phone and asked if I wanted to listen to something, I nodded and typed in the song and put it on loop. I sat on the subway train with tears slipping down my face as dodie’s voice flooded my ears: “Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping that it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest If I’m being honest Well if I’m being honest Oh, I bet it's not that at all” I never told them, I never told anyone about why I was crying, what I was truly mourning. I was mourning having a crush and having far too much of an expectation about it. I was mourning them. ~~~ Thank you dodie for such a lovely song, it means a lot to me and I cry every time I hear it. Thank you Cheers~

i cant believe i finally got to hear this one! been replaying the one at the gig before and this one just makes me want to smash the replay button!

This reminds me of something Elton John would sing! Amazing song! Can’t wait to hear the full EP!

I WASN’T READY FOR THAT LAST ”all” TO BE SO BEAUTIFUL I GOT MAD CHILLD

Doddie uploads Me: *wakes up* *Best time to watch, 5:03am*

I’ve listened to this so many times and it still gives me chills. Will definitely always be one of my favorites.

Dodie have we met in a different life? Because I feel like I've told you all my problems

It seems like this song was made for me _(of course it wasn't, but sometimes there are songs that you just vibe with so much it feels like it was made for you)_ I already know this will be the song I'll play on the ride to school, earbuds in, in my puffy coat, head lying up against the window, humming along happily because I love to hum along to songs, happy or sad. I've replayed this about 15 times, it's just so incredible.

man, dodie really likes strings

Dodie's live sessions are always so beautiful!

literally everything about this (and dodie) is perfect

This is going to get stuck in my head during school. DODIE IT'S *BEAUTIFUL* I HAVE NO WORDS

this is so beautiful I’m in tears I just.. the music swells so beautifully and the keyboard meshes so well with the quartet and her voice is so sweet and smooth like cream but for your ears and it all comes to the crescendo at the end with “all” and quiets back down to just Dodie and the keyboard as though representing her feeling alone and her mind quieting for a moment and the strings come back beautifully and slowly and just idk what I’m trying to say it’s just beautiful so so so so so beautiful and I love this so much

Dodie I love you so much! Can’t wait for the ep

I really love this, the gentle plucking of the violins in the background just makes it more calming, you're so talented! 💗

this sounds like it’s straight from la la land

playing this on loop for the rest of my life

currently crying to this. so beautiful, dodie. you have come so far

My cat is obsessed with your music. Anytime I play it he just stares at it and he gets all excited.

I'm getting such musical-theatre vibes from this song and i love it its so beautiful and emotional

Could YOUUU LOOOOVE THIS? Yes honey, I can. You are killing it!

Aaaa can’t wait for the ep!! This sounds so lovely I’m crying a little

oh my i'm gonna cry

*The ad waiting for the video to start was the longest 10 seconds of my life*

DAMN THOSE ACOUSTICS THO

I still cannot believe this exists, dodie, your career is at its peak.

OMG this girl, this voice, the black&white, the venue! PURE PERFECTION ❤️ Goosebumps! I wish youa great day and I wanna recommend you another cool chill out song for your playlist: Benedict Ammann - The Rules This song always cheers me up so I wanted to share it with you :)

your musical improvement is astounding! i only started following you since the start of last year and OH GOSH the stuff you make is so incredible! you can really see and hear how mature you've gotten over the years!

Honestly just the way the keyboard hits like, wow this reminds me if a friend who could pull this off well!! Dodie this was amazing, your voice and the instruments, wow!! Fantastic!!

CANNOT WAIT to hear this live on ur tour 💛💛💛

Time to learn the lyrics by listening to it on repeat

How can I go to your concert with my mom if I’m definitely going to hurl on the floor crying?

dodie...so well done, i have been watching this on repeat. thank you thank you thank you.

i came back to try and see when she inhaled that hair

This sounds like an amazing backing track for a John Lewis advert! The strings Your voice Wow.

I’m getting musical theatre vibes from this performance it’s so beautiful

I keep listening on repeat over and over again; it never gets old. The best part is that the rush of emotions I felt when I heard this song the first time still happens even when I listen to it a month after its release.

You're really accessing your fuller voice in the one!! The pretty light stuff is still in there as flourish and it sounds really nice with that fuller base!

im ugly crying in the middle of my uni hallway 😭😭
